Concealment trigger guard holster

ABSTRACT

A concealment holster includes a cord member and a pliable casing. The adjustable cord member is removably fastened to a portion of the clothing of the user. The pliable casing is fixedly attached at a distal end of the cord member. The pliable casing snuggly secures the trigger guard of the firearm. The pliable casing detaches from the trigger guard when the user deploys the firearm beyond a length of cord member. The pliable casing exerts a pressure on the trigger guard to snuggly fit onto the trigger guard, therefore the pliable casing detaches from the trigger guard when the pressure exerted by the user to deploy the firearm exceeds the pressure exerted by the pliable casing on the trigger guard. The firearm, after being secure with the concealment holster, can be positioned between the waistband and the body of the user to conceal the presence of the firearm.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to holsters and more specifically relates to a concealment of trigger guard holsters for firearms such as handguns, pistols or rifles, which allows quick deployment of the firearm and provides added safety for the user and others having access to the firearm.

BACKGROUND

The safety and security of firearms have been a concern for years. Even though locking mechanisms are used on some firearms, additional safety devices on handguns, pistols and rifles provide added security to its user and anyone who may have access to the firearm. Handguns are the most widely used by firearm in the world. These are compact and carried in casings fastened to a belt or a buckle of a user or in some type of bag. These castings are popularly known as gun holsters. Conventional holsters cover a significant portion of the firearm and are designed to be fastened to the belt of the user. Such firearm holsters provide protection to the user from an accidental pull of the trigger, but quick accessibility of the firearm can be compromised since the user has a more timely process that must be completed to remove the casing and access the firearm for use.

Some gun users require a very quick deployment time of the firearm from the holster. The quicker a firearm can be drawn from its secured position inside the holster, the sooner its user will have access to the firearm. Further, the earlier a user can access the trigger within the trigger guard, the faster the gun will be available for use upon deployment. In addition, conventional holsters cover a substantial portion of the firearm by making them highly visible and harder to conceal. For gun users such as police authorities, the visibility and concealment of the firearm is of upmost importance. Discrete operations might be compromised if the firearm is noticeable. Therefore a minimalistic holster is needed to hold and carry the firearm in a concealed manner, which also facilitates quick deployment from the holster without delay in accessing the firearm for use.

Hence, there has been an unresolved need for a concealment holster that secures the trigger guard of a firearm carried by a user, whereby the user can quickly access and draw the firearm from the concealment holster.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The concealment holster is closed here in addresses the above stated need for securing the trigger guard of a firearm carried by a user, whereby the user can quickly access the trigger within the trigger guard. The concealment holster disclosed here in secures the trigger guard of a gun carried by the user. As used herein, the term “holster” refers to a device used to hold or restrict the undesired displacement of a firearm, most commonly in a location where the firearm can be easily deployed for immediate use. The concealment holster is comprised of a pliable casing and adjustable lanyard designed to secure the trigger guard of the firearm and provide desired placement on the user. One end of the lanyard is removably fastened to a portion of a clothing or accessory of the user and the other end is fixedly attached to the flexible casing that secures to the trigger guard.

The pliable casing is designed to snuggly secure the trigger guard of the firearm. The pliable casing automatically detaches from the trigger guard when the user deploys the firearm to a distance that is beyond the length of the cord member. In an embodiment, the pliable casing is made of a lightweight material. In in an embodiment, the length of the cord member is configured to be adjusted the suit the requirement of the user. In an embodiment, the body of the pliable casing exerts a pressure on the trigger guard to snuggly fit on to the trigger guard, therefore the pliable casing detaches from the trigger guard when the pressure exerted by the user to deploy the firearm exceeds the pressure exerted by the pliable casing on the trigger guard. In an embodiment, the firearm, after being secured by the concealment holster, is configured to be positioned inside the belt of the user, or between the waistband and body of the user to conceal the presence of the firearm.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

FIG. 1 exemplarily illustrates a perspective view of the concealment holster 100 aligned to be attached to a trigger guard 103 of a firearm 104. The concealment holster 100 disclosed herein secures the trigger guard 103 of a firearm 104. The concealment holster 100 disclosed herein secures the trigger guard 103 of a firearm 104 carried by the user. The concealment holster 100 comprises a cord member 101 and a pliable casing 102. One end of the adjustable cord member 101 is removably fastened to a portion of clothing of the user and the other end 101 a is fixedly attached to the pliable casing 102 at a distal end. The pliable casing 102 is designed to snuggly secure the trigger guard 103 of the firearm 104. The pliable casing 102 automatically detaches from the trigger guard 103 when the user deploys the firearm 104 to a distance that is beyond a length of the cord member 101.

In an embodiment, the pliable casing 102 is made of a lightweight polymer material, for example, plastic. In an example, the thickness of the material is used to make a pliable casing 102 is, for example, about 0.60 mm thick. The material is minimal in thickness and is not brittle, therefore withstanding breakage while flexing during attachment and deployment of the firearm 104. In an embodiment, the length of cord member 101 is designed to be adjusted to suit the requirement of the user. In an embodiment, the body of the pliable casing 102 exerts a pressure on the trigger guard 103 to snuggly fit onto the trigger guard 103, therefore the pliable casing 102 detaches from the trigger guard 103 when the pressure exerted by the user to deploy the firearm 104 exceeds the pressure exerted by the pliable casing 102 on the trigger guard 103 which causes the concealment holster to release.

FIG. 2 exemplarily illustrates a perspective view of the concealment holster 100 attached to a trigger guard 103 shown in FIG. 1, of the firearm 104 to conceal and secure the trigger guard 103. In an embodiment, the firearm 104, after being secured with the concealment holster 100, is configured to be positioned on a belt of a user, or between the waistbands in the body of the user to conceal the presence of the firearm 104. In example, the concealment holster 100 is configured to be used for trigger guard 103 safety when the loaded firearm 104 is inserted in a drawer, closet, nightstand, under a mattress, in between car seats, door pocket, glove box, console, under a seat, etc.

The concealment holster 100 ensures that the trigger 105 show in FIG. 1, cannot be pulled in any manner to discharge the firearm 104. The concealment holster 100 has an adjustable lanyard, that is, the cord member 101, which is connected to the pliable casing 102 and forms a comfort fit on a belt around the user's pants thereby concealing the firearm 104. The length of the cord member 101 can be adjusted by the user. When the firearm 104, for example, a firearm is drawn out of the waistband with the left or right-hand to be pushed forward to take aim the cord number 101 reaches its maximum length and is pulled tight causing the pliable casing 102 to release under its own pressure leaving the concealment holster 100 attached to the belt. This pliable casing 102 of the concealment holster 100 allows a user to deploy the firearm 104 with the index finger on the side of the firearm 104 until the pliable casing 102 is released. This enables quick access to the trigger 105. In an embodiment, the concealment holster 100 fits all sizes of trigger guard 103 across various makes and models of firearms 104. Furthermore, the concealment holster 100 is designed to be used as a full time safety option for a trigger guard 103 when the concealment holster 100 is not being used as a carry/conceal devise.

FIG. 3 exemplarily illustrates a method for securing a trigger guard 103 of a firearm104 carried by a user. A concealment holster 100 comprising a core member 101 and a pliable casing 102 is provided 301.The pliable casing 102 snuggly secures 302 the trigger guard 103 of the firearm 104 within the pliable casing 102. The user deploys 303 the firearm 104 beyond the length of the cord member 101 which detaches the pliable casing 102 from the trigger guard 103.
